Phys.org / Bovine stem cells offer new approach to future cultivated steak research
Cultivated meat aims to produce meat from animal cells in the laboratory without needing to raise a living animal for meat production. It has been proposed as a potentially more sustainable alternative to conventional meat ...
Phys.org / Switching gravity on and off leaves particles behind, mathematical model finds
Hawking radiation causes black holes to eventually evaporate. This is because particle pairs are spontaneously created near the event horizon (the position of the last ray of light that can escape the black hole's gravitational ...
Phys.org / Scientists discover the key ingredients that make birdsong pretty
What makes birdsong beautiful? Answering this question could help us understand how soundscapes make the natural world relaxing for humans, opening the door to improving parks, upgrading the design of stressful places like ...
Medical Xpress / Supplement plus chemotherapy boosts pancreatic cancer survival
When added to standard chemotherapy, a clinical version of the dietary supplement L-glutamine improved survival in an early-phase trial of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. The study, led by Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences ...
Phys.org / MeerKAT directly detects faint hydrogen signal from the distant universe
Astronomers from the University of Manchester and the University of the Western Cape have directly detected an extremely faint radio signal from hydrogen gas billions of light-years away, opening a powerful new way to map ...
Phys.org / LEDs let archaeologists see the past in a new light
An archaeological excavation is a little like eating a layered cake: Once you have removed a layer, you cannot put it back. The problem becomes even trickier if two layers look almost exactly the same. Researchers from Aarhus ...
Phys.org / Saturn encounter may have set distant centaur on path to becoming a comet
More than 3 billion miles (4.8 billion kilometers) from Earth, an ancient icy object is slowly awakening. As it drifts inward through the solar system, the frozen body known as Centaur 450P/LONEOS has begun releasing gas ...
Medical Xpress / Rare antibodies with potential to combat alpha-gal syndrome identified
National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers have discovered rare antibodies that could inform the development of an intervention for alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), an emerging tick bite-associated condition that can cause ...
Phys.org / In tune with nature: Human speech follows a rhythm that is also found in the animal kingdom
The temporal structure of speech rhythms resembles that of the communication signals of numerous animal species. This is shown by a study conducted by a research team from the Leibniz Center for General Linguistics (ZAS) ...
Phys.org / Old-growth tropical forests bear lasting legacy of ancient Maya civilization
Rainforests in Central America that have remained largely untouched by modern human activities could bear the invisible imprint of ancient Maya civilizations. New research has found that forest structure in Belize, such as ...
Phys.org / UK and Ireland face greatest risk from rare tropical cyclones reaching Europe
Europe is no stranger to powerful windstorms, but some storms capable of causing serious damage have an unusual origin. Tropical cyclones can occasionally travel north from lower latitudes and reach Europe, where they can ...
Phys.org / First measurement of low-energy solar neutrinos scattering off electrons
Every second, tens of billions of neutrinos produced by nuclear fusion in the sun pass through every square centimeter of Earth—and through our bodies—almost without interacting. Although they are among the most abundant ...
